Xander paused for a moment and then nced at Mnie. “It’s okay, Liana and Xavier are here.


    Besides, it’s almost over anyway. If I return to the house, we might end up arguing again.”

    Mnie did not dare ask about the Solomon family. Despite her initial refusal, Xander insisted on


    escorting her.


    Compared to the atmosphere in the southern part of the city, the Christmas atmosphere in the north


    was much more vibrant. The streets were adorned with all sorts of decorations.


    Xander escorted her to her doorstep and prepared to leave.


    Mnie was about to head home when she heard Xander call out to her. She turned around to see


    Xander standing under a streetmp. The warm glow of themp made his eyes particrly gentle. He


    looked at Mnie, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.”


    Just then, fireworks exploded outside, drowning out his voice. Mnie looked at Xander in confusion,


    wondering what he had just said. Apart from ‘Merry Christmas‘, she also saw Xander saying something


    else, but she could not hear it.


    Xander was also taken aback. He looked up at the sky and opened his mouth as if to speak, but then


    he just chuckled. When he looked back at Mnie, his eyes were full of mirth. “It’s nothing. I wish you a


    merry Christmas and all the best,” he said with a smile.


    Back inside her house, the fireworks were still going off outside while her phone continued to buzz with


    notifications. Putting her things down, Mnie recalled the gift Xander had given her and decided to


    open it.


    Inside was a small peace charm along with some money. Mnie was stunned by its design. It was the


    same type as the one her grandfather had given her before, Mnie pursed her lips and carefully put


    the charm away.


    The vacation Burning Star Studio organized was set to begin on the eighth day of the following month.


    Mnie had packed her bags the night before and headed to the airport early in the morning to meet


    up with Xander. They flew directly to Prime City and reached by noon, which was when they met up


    with the others.


    They nned to spend a week in Prime City, and everyone was excited, especially Reny. She eagerly


    pulled Mnie aside to take photos. Suddenly, Mnie’s phone rang, forcing her to step aside to


    answer the call. It was from a client, and after a brief conversation, she ended the call.


    As she returned to the group, she noticed several familiar figures–Cedric, Ste, Peyton, and Evelyn.


    However, Eugene was nowhere to be seen. Given Xander had previously met Cedric at the birthday


    party, it was only natural for him to greet them.


    Mnie stopped a few meters away from them, intending to wait until they left before approaching.


    However, Evelyn spotted her and smiled at her, saying, “Mnie, you’re here too. Are you here for


    vacation or to recuperate?


    “put now that you’re pregnant, flying must be exhausting, right?” Her words seemed caring on the


    surface, but they carried a hint of Indifference. It was evident that showing concern for Mnie was


    not her true intention.


    Sure enough, Cedric picked up on the word “pregnant” and immediately turned his stern gaze toward


    Mnie. He scrutinized her intensely. “You’re pregnant?”
